The text search could be better. Searching for an exact last name turned up a bunch of results don't match at all

It's fuzzy search, so the most relevant ones should be ordered correctly. I can certainly tune the threshold to not keep less relevant ones.

I just read one of these via your site at random. Holy crap, talk about incompetence! https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www2.mbc.ca.gov/PDL/do...

It's not just incompetence. Many of these people also abuse their patients. They know what they're doing. They know they have all the power.

I may be missing something, but I would like to be able to search by zip and return individual doctor's names.

Thank you for the recommendation. I plan to enable geo-filtering via the map. I'll need to figure out what is the best granularity to do so at—maybe county. I might be able to give an option for the granularity too.

Awsm!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I marked the map feature beta because I noticed the geocoding wasn't accurate for all addresses. I'll get on that. I'm hesitant to just exclude ones not in the US though because it's possible a doctor has a California license while primarily practicing in another country, just like that case.

In that case I think it's a confusion over "Jerusalem" in her address and "Jerusalem" in the name of the tagged place, which is "Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Jerusalem".

Fixed thanks.
